(8,695 posts)Everyone beats the WH drum while the teapublicans have kicked our ass everywhere else.
While the rest of the country is so deep in a hole we may not see daylight for decades, the rest of you are caught staring at the sun. To date:
We have lost 11 governorships, 13 U.S. Senate seats, 69 House seats, and 913 state legislative seats and 30 state legislative chambers
So keep staring at the Sun while the rest of the country continues to be covered in the great darkness that is teapublican public policy.
FYI:
I don't care what your candidate may or may not do. This is on the DNC policies and feckless Democratic and Democratic-leaning Independent voters. Given the number of seats we have lost, who is president doesn't mean shit if we don't start caring about state legislatures and Congress. While you may care, the occasional, the disengaged, feckless and the straight ticket voter, very obviously, does not.
Noticed I said "straight-ticket" voters? Just because someone has a " D)" after their name doesn't mean they support liberal progressive and Democratic ideals. Sometimes the best person for the job has an (I) after their name (just ask the citizens of Maine and Vermont).
